Unconditional benefits are less susceptible to fraud because there aren't conditions to evade. They're also easier to administer and are generally progressive, as a fixed universal benefit is more useful to poor people than high income people, due to the diminishing marginal utility of most benefits. Taxation, as you say, does the rest.
